Linux Mint DISK BOOT FAILURE after install

So, this is my first attempt at a Linux install.....
-Formated the drive using XP Recovery option
-Donloaded and burned Mint .iso image to dvd on another computer.
- Had issues getting it to load, which apparantly is an Nvidia driver issue.
- Used "e" to get into setup options. Nut sure if this is the GRUB menu. Added i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa to the line under setup.

Setup seemed to go fine. Loaded files and ran through all the prompts. When the files are done loading, my monitor goes black with the red indicator light blinking like there is no signal.

When I try to boot up from HDD, I get DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK..... ect.

I have made sure that the drive priority is set correctly, and is being recognized.
I tried to re-run the install, however Mint setup says that it is already installed on that directory.

Just looked at the latest version of the user guide and it does not look as though you are prompted for where to install grub ...
You need to open a terminal and type in the commands ... click the menu button (bottom left) and terminal should be one of the options ...

Good news, got it up and running. In the partition menu during install, I had grub pointed to the general device and not to the root partition. Once I pointed it to the right partition, it finished the install, and rebooted right up. Thanks for the help.
